A large aquarium layout featuring BREACHED: Cardamine Lyrata’s Refuge, 216 L (57.1 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Roberto Buenadicha. The hardscape focus sits on Driftwood, ancient roots, mini roots.
Read the stone and wood (Driftwood, ancient roots, mini roots, black sky rocks, assorted gravels, dark an…) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. About 17 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. ADA Amazonia V2, Fluval Bio-Stratum, ADA Power Sand, volcanic gravel. substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Chihiros WRGB 2 PRO 90, Chihiros WRGB SLIM 60 and Aquael leddy 14w. lighting sits at a high technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (± 30ppm 1 hour before lights turn on and up to an hour before they turn off.) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. Oase 600 thermo filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. High-tech balance means nutrients, light, and CO₂ must stay in step; one weak leg often triggers spot or hair algae.
